Along with the report text, SHI offers on average approximately 25-35 referenced photo pages (2 photos per page) for smaller homes and 35-55 photo pages for larger homes. Most home inspectors offer a few photos here and there scattered throughout the report. But there are some pretty good reasons why photos are critical in a professional home inspection report and there should not be a shortage.
Asbestos on Pipe
- Photos document serious conditions. What does a serious asbestos condition look like in a house? A picture is worth a thousand words.
- Photos identify technical items. Do you know what a TPR valve extension looks like? One photo does the trick.
- Photos convey valuable knowledge. When we recommend a repair, we can choose from a variety of photos and articles to outline what is needed. And, let’s face it, there is a reason why dictionaries, encyclopedias and science books contain a lot of images.
Signs of Termites
Believe it or not, many home inspection companies do not offer photos with their reports. At SHI, we don’t just give cookie-cutter home reports, we give a brief but insightful education on the important aspects of your new house. Your house (whether first, second, or third) is likely one of the largest investments you will ever make. Your home inspection report should be as thorough and detailed as possible. Photo pages allow for top-quality reports and informed home buying decisions. Call SHI today for a comprehensive home inspection that includes referenced photo pages – 631 377 2046.
